The definition of a Scale Drawing is- A drawing that shows a real object with accurate sizes reduced or enlarged by a certain amount (called the scale). The scale is shown as the length in the drawing, then a colon (":"), then the matching length on the real thing.
Well an example would be- Write the scale of the drawing, 1 cm = 1.5 m, as . Then write a proportion in which each ratio compares centimeters to meters. Let n represent the actual length of the boat. The actual length of the boat is 4.5 m. explaining is a little hard, but u can look up video examples to help u understand better
